The Haber 800 is a 28.87 ft gaffhead sloop designed by Janusz Konkol/Henryk Brylski and built by Haber Yachts, with production records indicating a build year of 2005. This lightweight cruiser, weighing 5291.0 lb with a displacement/length ratio of 158.47, offers a distinct traditional aesthetic combined with modern performance characteristics.

Best for:

This boat suits coastal cruisers and weekend sailors who prioritize easy handling and traditional sailing aesthetics over heavy offshore protection. Its light displacement and high sail area/displacement ratio (18.66) make it particularly appealing to single-handers or couples seeking a responsive, planing-capable day sailor.

Bluewater capability:

With a low comfort ratio of 19.15 and a capsize ratio of 1.89, the Haber 800 is primarily a coastal cruiser rather than a dedicated bluewater vessel, though its variable keel option allows for trailerability and shallow water access.

Comparables:

Comparable boats include other lightweight 28-30 ft gaff or fractional sloop designs from the mid-2000s, such as the Wayfarer or small Folkboat derivatives, due to similar displacement and traditional rigging. It also shares market space with modern performance cruisers like the Beneteau First 28, though with a distinct traditional hull form.
